check for sound when you log in

I have a user on my XP machine who mutes the sound so as not to annoy others.
This is good, but the sound is still muted when other users sign on. Is there
a way to have the computer automatically unmute the sound when someone logs
in? This seems to be the only part of the sound scheme I can't customize.

Thanks in advance!
 
Do you have external speakers with a volume control? Use that to mute the
sound.

Somebody will probably post a script, but you could place the Windows Volume
Control (sndvol32.exe) in startup.

Start | Run | Type or paste this in the box and click OK

%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Right click in the right hand pane, point to New and click Shortcut.
Type or paste this in the box...

%SystemRoot%\System32\sndvol32.exe

Click the Next button.
Click the Finish button.

Volume Control should then start for whoever logs on.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Thanks, but a script would probably work best since some of the users can
barely find the volume as it is. Sending them to a shortcut would confuse
them even more. The volume level usually stays about the same, it just needs
to be turned on when we log in.

If anyone has a script, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, again!
